UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE- LEOPOLD S. SAMUEL, OF NEWARK, NEV JERSEY.

CARD FOR BOOK-MARKS AND FOR ADVERTISING MEDIUMS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.` 289,566, datedDecember 4, 1883,

` Application filed June 25, 1883.

t To @ZZ whom tm/ay concern..-

Be it known that-I, LEOPOLD S. SAMUEL, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Newark,-in the county of Essexand State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Cards for Book-Marks and for Advertising Mediums; and Ido `hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference markedthereon, which form apart of this specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a novelty acceptable to youngpeople and adapted to meet the wants of advertisers; and it consists .inthe arrangements and combinaL tions of parts, substantially as will behereinafter set forth, and finally embodied in the claims.

The accompanying drawing indicates aplan of an advertising-card orbook-mark, A being a card having a suitable amount of space on it forprinted matter, such as an advertisement or a motto, b b. Said card isperforated, as at c, and to it is attached, by an eyelet, cl, or otherfastener, arms e, `adapted to revolve on said ey elet, and carryingdisks f, of glass, gelatine, or other colored and transparent`substance. By revolving the arms the disks may be alternately ortogether brought over the perforation or perforations, so that onlooking through the glass or transparent material objects will be giventhe color of the said transparent matter, as will be understood. Bycombining two or more different colors secondary colors may be produced,in almost endless variety. The colors may be attached to the card and beadapted to project over the edges thereof', and the perforation c bedispensed with, without departing from the spirit of my invention. Whengelatine isused, I prefer to` cover the same with mica to prevent thehand from marring the surface, -and thus reducing the transparency lofthe same.

To increase the value of the device in the childish mind, so that thesame will be retained longer and the value of the device as anadvertising medium be increased, Iprovide (Model.)

a background, y, of some contrasting color, and with or without a designimprinted thereon, and also lettered papers h, which parts g h aresuitably gummed on their reverse sides, and thus adapted .to be securedto the card. From a collection of such parts g h the child may selectthe letters of his name, or make the same to the card A.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as my invention isl. Anadvertising-card, A, provided with colored transparent and adjustableparts e, substantially as andfor the purposes set forth and shown. l

`2. In combination, the card A and pivoted ferently colored transparentmatter thereon.`

6. In combination,the advertising-card having an imprint impressedthereon, and a background, y, and lettered portions 7i, gummed, glued,cemented, or otherwise secured to said card A by an adhesive-substance,as herein set forth.

lother selection, as he may desire, and secure portions of transparentcolored matter, sub-` 7. In combination, the parts g h, secured by anadhesive substance to the card A, and
